You need to put quotes around the file path because "Menu Extras" is two words. You'll notice I did that in the Rev code; you'll need to do that in the AppleScript code instead.

Thanks! This is just what I'm looking for, except one thing - - - since this is for a commercial application, I can't use the beta of Rev 2. If I can just get this working in Applescript, then I can get this working in Rev 1.1.1 with the Applescript PowerAdd-ons OSAX to make calls to the unix shell. The problem I'm having is that if I do: Shell "open /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/PPPoE.menu" in Applescript, it gives me this error: No such file: /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu This makes me think that AppleScript doesn't like the space after the word "Menu". AppleScript also doesn't like when I put quotes in the shell command like this: Shell (open "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/PPPoE.menu") it then says "can't open file due to AppleEvent error". So unfortunately, this is turning more into an AppleScript problem as opposed to a Revolution problem, but either way, I'm still somewhat stuck. Any advice is appreciated.

I'm trying to figure out how to get Revolution to put the PPPoE status in the menubar in Mac OS X. (Basically mimicing what happens if the user were to check the "show PPP status in menubar" checkbox in the networking pane). After digging around in the web for a bit, I read that this will do the trick in the terminal window: /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/PPPoE.menu However, when I go into the "Library" folder, I don't see this CoreServices directory. I'm assuming if I can get this working in terminal, then there's a way to get AppleScript to make a call to the terminal from Revolution to execute the command. Anyone have an idea of what this syntax might look like? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
